# Romanian Armed Forces ranks and insignia

"none" is preferred when the title is already sufficiently detailed; see [[WP:SDNONE]] The Military ranks of Romania are the military insignia used by the Romanian Armed Forces.

## Branch colors in the Romanian Armed Forces

The colors depend on the service branch (armă, literally "weapon") the bearer is a member of. They show on the shoulder slides which hold the rank insignia, on the band of combination caps, and on collar insignia. Because many different branches share a color (for example black or light blue), each branch has distinctive branch insignia (semne de armă), which is worn next to the rank insignia on the shoulder slides. Other militarized institutions, such as the Romanian Gendarmerie and the Military Firefighters Corps, also have branch insignia worn in the same way.
| Service branch | Colour |
| Marshals (all branches) Land Forces Generals (except Military Medicine and Military Justice) Infantry Military Music | Red |
| Air force (all staff) Paratroopers Radar Troops | Light blue |
| Naval forces (all staff) Artillery Tanks Military Automobile Troops Anti-air Artillery and Missiles Communication and Informatics structures Engineers Troops NBC defence | Black |
| Military Medicine (incl. Generals) | Burgundy red |
| Mountain Troops | Green |
| Military Logistics Administration | Violet |
| Military Justice (incl. Generals) | Dark Blue/Dark Violet |
| Military Police | Gray |
The same ranks and basic insignia are used in the other militarised institutions. They differ in the color and branch insignia on the shoulder boards.
* Gendarmerie
* Firefighters
* General Inspectorate of Aviation
* Intelligence Service

* Protection and Guard Service

## Armed forces

The rank insignia is worn on the shoulder of the jacket, cloak/coat, overcoat, and shirt. The ranks are displayed with braids (called galoane or trese) of gold color for the commissioned officers and silver for senior non-commissioned and warrant officers. The junior NCOs, enlisted and the navy warrant officers use yellow silk braids. Generals use star insignia. The navy warrant officers use yellow colored star insignia as well. The air force and navy officers also display the ranks on the sleeves. The topmost braids for the air force officer rank are folded in the shape of a rhombus; for the navy, the braids are folded into rings; for the paratroopers, the braids are folded in the shape of an open parachute.
